Day 28

I know...I know, I said I was going to finish up this sketch project with the "Many vs. Few" series but I'll tell ya, today I wasn't feeling inspired in that way. I really had a want to do a mixed media piece. So I pulled out the gouache, watercolor pencils, pastels, and charcoal and went to work.

Endangered this baby blue jay is not, but the ominous caption read, "This baby blue jay may not live to see a second summer." Geez, I hope this little guy didn't hear that.

Project IV Day 18: Turkey Vulture (again)

I can't stop with the Turkey Vultures. I think I might have been one in a past life. Is that why I'm such a dirtbag ?

Project VII-Day Thirty: Grass

     And that is a wrap! Day Thirty's photo was taken at Oliver Nature Park in Mansfield, TX earlier this summer. The labeling of each drawing evolved during the project. In the bottom left-hand corner is the sequence number of the drawing within the 30-day time frame and the location of where the reference photo was taken. My take away from this particular project was having the opportunity to spend more time with a special moment I had in nature. It allowed me to marvel at the intricacies of the plants and animals around us.

Project IV Day 25: Hoatzin Nestling

Yes, this guy does indeed exist. He is a Hoatzin nestling. One thing you should know about these birds is that they are born with two claws on each wing. They are clumsy in flight and use these claws to climb about in their native swamps of Venezuela and Guyana. Once they reach adulthood, they those their claws. Dinosaur times-style.
